Best Metal Gear Solid Characters

copkiller
Since MGS 4 is coming soon, I thought let´s make a Metal Gear list. Well this is a list of the characters of all the MGS. Who´s the best character of em all.

The Top Ten

1Big Boss

Got to give it to Big Boss, he's definitely the best. There's quite a few things that make him better than Solid Snake. For one he's a leader, Snake is a follower/mercenary, although he does later fight for a cause he believes in. Big Boss invented CQC, alongside the Boss, and he used it better than Snake ever could. Big Boss was much better at being stealthy, I mean Snake can see what everyone else sees, but he's still gotten found before. Big Boss had a much more sad and personnel story, and it really makes you feel. Overall I'd say he's much better than Snake, in fact, Snake isn't even my number 2 - CoyRex1

I like big boss better because he just is and I like him better because think he is tougher than solid snake. He is better than snake in battle and I think his adventures are cooler. Oh and 1 more thing if big boss wasn't here there would not be a solid snake.

We suffered more than snake.. His life has been a constant struggle and yet through that he became the greatest warrior in the 20th century... Solid snake is amazing buy Big Boss is a legend

Big boss is a good character. And his fighting skills are great. Big boss has been through loads but look he made his own clone so he could go into hiding. Solid snake never did that and he wouldn't. Overall big boss should be second. But he has a really good story line

2Solid SnakeSolid Snake is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists of the video game series Metal Gear by Hideo Kojima. He is a legendary soldier cloned from Big Boss's DNA, who is sent to infiltrate and investigate the titular weapons in an effort to stop a potential war.

Big boss needs an army at his back at all times and constantly goes into comas. Sure, he's pulled off some great feats, but snake is simply better.

Snake took down the extremely advanced B/B corps as a diseased 80 year old man. He also single handedly stopped the Shadow Moses indecent. Not to mention HE DEFEATED BIG BOSS MULTIPLE TIMES. Also, snake defeated Liquid, his brother, in battle, despite the fact that Liquid had an army and all the superior genes.

Snake may have started out as a clone of big boss, but through his heroic escapades, he surpassed big boss in every way.

he is the only man that could face metal gears and win, he took out a tank with grenades, a total legend

Solid Snake = the greatest soldier who ever lived

Solid snake is the best. For one he's thought harder bosses. Big boss jas been through hell but so has solid snake. Solid snake has beaten big boss and his phantom venom snake which is a good victory. Snake beat his brother who had a full army. Come on snake took out a tank with grenades he's taken out so many metal gears. It tells you that solid is the best by far.

Solid Snake is just the best. I cared the most about his story mainly because I started the story with him. He also has the best support group with Otacon, Campbell, Mei Ling, Meryl, Naomi, Raiden and the list goes on. Big Boss has Miller in Peace Walker and Phantom Pain. His support group kinda sucks in Snake Eater. The only ones I cared about were Zero and Eva. Miller is his best supporter and heâ€™s not even in 3. Huey is no comparison to Otacon. And Revolver being in Phantom Pain felt kind of weird. Solid Snake has also defeated Big Boss a couple times. Solid Snake is the best!

The Boss is/was the most legendary war hero and she truly expressed her beliefs when she died for a country she didn't completely trust. But that was the order; that was her mission. Big Boss would be nothing without The Boss, and Solid and Liquid would be nothing without either of them. It's also pretty cool that her dad was a founding member of the patriots. War hero, honor, sacrifice, love. Is that about enough?

Aside from Big Boss himself, The Boss has the best characterization in the entire franchise and the biggest influence on the 20th century. Her charismatic demeanor inspired loyalty to everyone that would listen to her, and her morals created a fervor so powerful, its misrepresentation (The Patriots) almost ruined the world.

5RaidenRaiden (Formerly Jack) is a fictional character and a prominent protagonist in the Metal Gear series by Hideo Kojima, being the main hero of Metal Gear Solid II (as a Foxhound soldier) and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (As a modified cyborg).

On par with Snake, one of the most badass characters in all of gaming

New game on the way. Could beat Revolver any day.

Raiden went from looking like a girl to looking like a guy you don't wanna screw with

Raiden I my favorite Characters in metal gear I mena he's a cyborg I want a robot are

Best Villian of the series. Hated to see him bite the dust and then fuse with Ocelot

8Otacon

Where would snake be without Otacon reminding him what to do?

He is the best comic relief character ever.

Incredible companion and loyal friend

9Steven Armstrong

He is the most funniest, badass yet surprising complex villain in the whole franchise. - KingDJ

10Kazuhira Miller

I hate kaz, he's such a jerk in MGS5, he tortures people just because he doesn't like them or because he personally doesn't trust them, yet everyone else does. He is useless at doing anything and he seems to constantly question big boss' descisions. He just made me want to CQC him into a coma.

Kaz is awesome. In PW he was cool and in PP he became an ass, but in a really badass way. SPOILER FOR MGS1 Sadly he dies off-screen sometime before Shadow Moses instead of the battlefield

I Love Kaz, he's my first Mgs Crush. But Sorry kaz, I only can vote once and I vote BB

The Contenders

11Solidus Snake

He shared a lot of similarities with Big Boss and he fought and died for what he believed in.

Wished he would have had more screen time

12Grey Fox

HE was a great antihero, one minute he's trying to kill snake then he's saving him. Also his suit is way cooler than raiden's.

the end was a legendary sniper. I agree he should be on the list because it can be the longest boss battle ever. and you also have to find him in a big forest called sokrovenno forest. the end is awesome

The end is the best part of the game in Snake Eater.. the most intense sniper showdown... - lukesternoot

Best Boss of the Series

19The Sorrow

20Quiet

21Sniper Wolf

22Meryl

23Vamp

Vamp is an amazing character. I love his design, personality, vampire-like nature, voice actor, and his badass-ness

He's Romanian and a bona fide badass! Enough said!

24Johnny Sasaki

25Decoy Octopus

Decoy octopus is my HERO he is my INSPIRATION my WILL TO LIVE! - winfreyb

26Punished "Venom" Snake

Think about it: He's Big Boss, and then some. He fooled the entire world, and even the Patriots into thinking he was Big Boss, and he could probably even beat Big Boss in 1 on 1 combat. Also, if it weren't for his Diamond Dogs, Outer Heaven wouldn't have been as big as it was.

ROCKET PUNNCH!

27The Pain

He fights You with a jetpack and a flamethrower. FIRST ASTRONAUT. Being burn when commed to atmosphere. Pryomania. Cool suit one of the most memorable fights in mgs3.

28Jetstream Sam

Simply badass

29Skullface

30D.D.

Best battle buddy of all time - Not_A_Weeaboo

31The Fear

32Vulcan Raven
